On every occasion that some talking head from the disunited UN raises their head above the parapet an even more absurd statement is issued. As other comments have observed what difference if a weapon is used under the direct control of a gunner, pilot or UAV, the result is the same. The suggestion appears to be that the bow and arrow is more suitable when in fact, especially with reference to Israel non combatant casualities have been dramatically reduced thanks to their technology. Whilst there is war and terrorism may I suggest that these professional kibitzers return to academia and think more clearly.
